You left out the VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH where it says that he's not trying to weaasel out of anything: "David's not going to stand for being treated any more or any less than any citizen would be treated in the courtroom. He's going to stand tall. He has no record. We'll stand tall and walk through this." So he voted to make more restrictive laws, so he got caught breaking those same laws. He's showing every sign of being a responsible adult, not being hypocritical, and will face whatever punishment is deemed appropriate after due process. If only all politicians would be so honest. -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
